Improving sustainable patterns within the tourism sector requires strengthening relevant policy development and its implementation in cooperation with stakeholders. Tourism planning is examined both as a process and as a set of techniques for sustainable tourism development. Public and private sector roles are evaluated, as well as the nature of, and parameters and constraints relating to tourism development in specific settings. The physical environment of strategic planning, and the social, cultural and political realities of tourism planning and policy making are a primary focus. Students develop both professional knowledge and skills in tourism policy-making processes, strategic tourism planning and the evaluation of tourism plans and policies evolving from local, national and international industry.
